Bonfire Party

So on Saturday night we headed over to Flyingpops folks to join in celebrating Bonfire night, to be enjoyed with an evening of watching all the neighbours firework displays (too many little ones to fancy risking actually setting any off in their garden), starting with the lighting of the Chimenia-

- which, while just spewing out a load of smoke to start with, became a little like a blast furnace once it got going(!)

Once everyone had wrapped up warm enough to venture outside a colossal number of sparklers materialised -

- making for some very interesting light painting camera opportunities, then we finished off proceedings with spicy chilli beef, tomato soup, sausages in rolls with onion and a very fine bonfire cake -

- which was even marbled in the middle with red giving the impression of swirling flame!
